Caution
Important safety advice:
- Work undertaken on the clutch and brake system poses a safety risk. This work may only be carried out by appropriately qualified personnel. Faulty work can have serious consequences and may pose a threat to life and health. Only undertake this installation if you are sufficiently qualified and have an official workshop manual as well as all relevant service notifications available. Otherwise, we strongly recommend that the installation is carried out or at least checked in a specialist workshop.
- Any work in relation to the installation, removal and tightening torque of original parts should always be carried out in compliance with the workshop manual.
- To ensure safe functioning of the levers, it is essential that you familiarise yourself with their functioning and adjustment options before driving.
- Depending on the vehicle model, not all adjustment options of the lever may be usable.
- Select an option that suits your needs and make sure that the brake and clutch work properly with this setting.
- Memorise these setting values and check them before every drive, especially if the vehicle was exposed to the access of a third party.
- It is your responsibility to check the product regularly and to determine if a service or replacement is required.

Final check
-

Also check the front wheel’s freewheel and the functionality of the brake system. The settings and functions of the clutch as well as the correct response of the switches on the brake and clutch must also be checked. -
Afterwards, a test drive must be carried out! After completing the test drive, check that all components and screws are tight and functioning correctly. Re-test the front wheel’s freewheel and check the brake system for overheating. Recheck the settings and functions of the clutch as well as the correct response of the switches on the brake and clutch.
-
Functional test of the lighting, especially brake light.
-
Functional test of the microswitches of all levers.
-
Functional test of brake and clutch system for all six adjustment positions.
Care and maintenance
- Do not use any harsh cleaning agents when cleaning the levers (if in doubt, check the tolerability of the cleaning agent at a concealed spot first). Under any circumstances, do not clean the levers directly with a high-pressure cleaner or solvent-based cleaning products.
- The moving parts should be lubricated and preserved with a resin-free, thin oil at regular intervals, especially after longer drives in the rain.
- Regularly check that all parts have a backlash-free fit and that they move smoothly according to the specification of the vehicle manufacturer. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately, otherwise proper functioning cannot be guaranteed and an accident with serious injuries may result.
